If there is no oxygen in space how does the sun burn without oxygen?

Re: If there is no oxygen in space how does the sun burn without oxygen?
The sun burns because its own gravity is compressing itself. As it compresses itself, the hydrogen atoms that it is initially formed from fuse together into helium. This nuclear fusion creates radiation heat and light. When the sun runs out of hydrogen in 4 billion years, it will start burning the helium and turn into a red giant. Then the world will end.

The earths atmosphere is not a blanket laying on it. It gets thinner the farther away you get from the ground because there is less gravity. Ever been on a mountain.

I swear, you people are too stupid to actually come up with a decent conspiracy theory. Half of you are Xtians who think God did it because your too retarded to see the earth is round.

Re: If there is no oxygen in space how does the sun burn without oxygen?
Have you ever seen a movie, where a spaceship accidentally gets a fracture, a hole in the hull, and then all of a sudden the air from the inside, maybe along with screaming passengers and stuff, is "sucked" or ejected into the open space with a tremendous power. Well, not exactly sucked, it's because of the vacuum, but you know how it works.
Now, my question is: if all that vast space around the Earth is the empty vacuum, why the Earth's atmosphere does not get "sucked" off? You might say it's because of gravity, but gravity is not that powerful compared with the "force" of vacuum. E.g., you can easily jump up off the Earth, temporary overcoming the gravity at least for a few inches and then landing, but could you jump from the hole in the spaceship hull? Not a chance. Meanwhile, the air pressure and gravity force in the spaceship and on Earth is not very different, you can survive in both. So, where's the secret? What keeps the Earth's atmosphere from escaping from Earth?

How did the lunar missions support combustion that required Oxygen? Better yet, if the law of Physics require that for every action there must be an opposite and equal reaction, how did the Apollo missions propel through space with nothing to thrust off of? Either there is a yet undefined fabric in space or the whole proposition was a fraud because it would be similar to a ship sitting in the doldrums with no wind in its sails.

It's called pressure, the high pressure of the gas escaping into a lower pressure area (space is not a vacuum, it is just very low pressure, it is full of dust and gas) pushes the vehicle in the opposite direction.

Here OP watch this video: [link to www.youtube.com]

The sun isn't nuclear and it's not fire.

103 minutes don't you know i barely have 7 minutes of free time per day. That would take me 14.71428 days to watch that...lol...maybe I'll skip my nap and watch it...thanks

I'm 17 minutes into the video I found the plasma and filamentary discussion interesting. The universe is made up of twin filaments wrapped around each other with magnetic fields in the small to large scales. similar to dna..thanks for the video

The sun is not at all what scientists speculate. They are completely and utterly wrong.

Closest thing we understand would be electrical plus some other other worldly stuff.

You're right!I. It does need oxygen, si it makes its own. During fusion, it combines nitrogen (15)with hydrogen (1) and makes oxygen (16). Learned that in third grade.

You can take 2 big chunks of ENRICHED uranium and encase them in lead balls. No air, no oxygen, put them in an oil bath if you like to make sure no air is present. When you bring them close to each other, they could actually get hot enough to melt the lead.

This is sort of how the sun works.

Why do you believe the Sun is "burning?"

OK, then explain the movement of a comet through space. Where do they come from and what is the driving force that does not make them subject to a planetary type orbit? So you are saying space has a composition? Of what? For there to even be a low pressure indicates there is a surrounding force or fabric in space to give it a pressure value, otherwise due to expansion no pressure could be maintained. Haven't we been told that it is essentially a vacuum thus far?

Did I ever tell you a story about a ball, let loose from the atmosphere of the a planet. How it bounced straight UP, breached the Phenon, and landed on the moon. I kept telling this soul, you need to stop in the middle, slow your roll, there is an inbetween. This ball took off and Stuck dead center, picture perfect moon crater. He waves, once in awhile.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5366990


Then how would it get back to homebase? I suppose the bounce between here and say Mars would be a doozy.
